^^^ Lol is right

Ya it sure is an affiliate link, not much secrecy there...
This may be surprising to some, but with our HitBTC launch and acceptance, there were actually a few terms included:

• HitBTC announcement + logo on our site
• Listing Agreement
• And utilizing their affiliate program to help promote HitBTC

By all means though, you can sign up direct to the site, through our link or however you all prefer.
The important thing for us, is for our community to know our first premier exchange listing will be with HitBTC.
